The view from the top of Nishiyama Park was fantastic. This is the view to the south - Sabae is in the foreground and Takefu is behind it. As you can see, there's absolutely no indication of where one stops and the other begins... and it's the same story as you head north towards Fukui city. Although it's supposed to be "inaka" (countryside), the north of Fukui actually resembles one massive great big urban conurbation.
